Devised by Kirsten Ferguson, who was asked for direction to a restaurant during the 2008 Inter Varsity Folk Dance Festival (IVFDF) in Sheffield. Friends were told to look for “The Blue Lights of Pizza Express” as their rendezvous point, and having enjoyed a very good pizza, Kirsten wrote this dance. [information taken from the 2nd Aurora Book of SCDs]
As music the author suggests “any good traditional Strathspey”.
